Its been over 15 years since I have had such an exceptional dining table in stock. 30 years in business and 41 years in the trade, this is the fifth period table I have had over 2.8m. Traded another table with a private customer to obtain.
A Unique late 19th Century, French Oak, Art Nouveau, Parquetry Top, Draw Leaf Dining Table
“This table defies simple explanation”
The bold pegged, cleated, solid parquetry top having a large rectangular four seater central section. Unusually, each drawer leaf is of a different size. One being 42cm the other 60cm.
The base, is as unusual as the tops, having a plain central moulded frieze above bold, square, out-swept legs, joined by a ‘Y’ stretcher.
The overall varied depths of colour and patination are due to the unusual geometric feel of this table.
*‘Y’ stretcher is an alternative to the ‘H’ stretcher, enabling chairs to be slid under further, particularly on tables with less overhang, enabling more leg room.
H. 74cm (soon to be 76cm) W. 120cm D. 95cm
Table width with the smaller leaf extended 162.5cm
An unusual early 19th Century French elm and ash farmhouse table – AA1906
The four plank cleated top, above a plain frieze. Having original extension lopers to one end, enabling the top to extend by 70cm. Raised on square-section tapering legs.
Note: the legs are the original height. 99% of antique farmhouse tables, are too low and need raising. You’ll also notice where the lower legs have had mops and water covered over the past 200 plus years. This adds a lot to farmhouse and refectory tables.
This table has a wonderful overall faded patina.
We just completed replacing the leaf, long lost. Matching in the elm and still applying wax over the next few days. 41 years in the trade and never seen a table quite like this one.
A decorative Mid 19th Century French walnut & fruitwood desk/centre table
The well faded two plank cleated top, above an all around shaped frieze, the front having two long drawers, retaining the original shaped brass handles,
Resting on long slight shaped cabriole legs.
Good overall faded colour, still in need of re-sealing and re-waxing.
An unusual mid 19th Century French oak and pine farmhouse utility table.
The character enhancing distressed four plank top, above a plain frieze accommodating six utility drawers to each side; most retaining the original turned handles.
Resting on square tapered oak legs raised to a perfect height of 77 cms.
Mid 18th Century French walnut refectory/centre table
The rectangular cleated top above an ogee shaped skirt, having a drawer to one end, resting on attractive baluster tuned legs joined by a moulded rectangular section ‘H’ stretcher.
Having good overall faded colour.
Note: the ‘H’ stretcher to be re-glued (invisible) and the overall waxed.
First half 18th Century French walnut refectory table
The well patinated three plank top above a deep frieze, the shaped, moulded facing side having decorative floral inlays of exotic timbers and ebony.
The rear and less used side having a plain frieze and two long drawers. Resting of baluster turned legs, joined by a rectangular ‘H’ stretcher.
Note, the entire base other than the inlaid frieze needing a good clean, highlighting the beautiful hidden grains, hidden by around 300 years of dark waxes.
The turned handles may be original, I can change to a more decorative brass knob or plate handle if desired.
19th Century French farmhouse table of large proportions (seats 12 comfortably).
The well patinated four plank top above a narrow moulded frieze, resting on square chamfered legs, joined by a matching moulded double ‘H’ stretcher. Colour can be lightened to suit and re-waxed finished.
The two plank figured-walnut cleated top above a plain frieze, one side having a beautiful knot
and one end with well shaped drawer, resting on square tapered legs.
Good overall faded colour and patination.
This table is unusually high, because when made the top slid to reveal a long cantered dough-bin. So people could sit at the table, it was built about 12 CM higher than standard. Because of this, we haven’t needed to raise the legs by 5-10cm as we usually do.
19th Century French elm and deal refectory/farmhouse table. The rectangular deal top above a beautifully grained elm base. The plain frieze housing a wide centre drawer, resting on square tapered camphered legs, joined by a long ‘H’ stretcher.
